No. I'm a big Duke fan and have been following DNF. They started using Quake
2 engine in early 1998. Switched to Unreal engine in June/July 1998 and
stated right then that the game won't be released before the end of 1998
because a lot of people were expecting Christmas release. DNF was expected
to be released in 1999, but 3D Realms never ever even hinted on the possible
release date. Don't know where end-of-1999 came from, probably NGs or gaming
magazines/sites. DNF will be out "When it's done".
